Cant connect jsp with mysqlserver..help needed from person in jsp on linux

Question

hii,
I have installed mysql on linux 7.x.This was installed during installation of linux.From the shell prompt i can go inside mysql and can successfully execute all query statements.
Now have downloaded mm.mysqljdbc driver(i.2c) and installed it,set the classpath in .bash_profile,sh file
Everything ,including Tomcat Apache server is running fine
But i am unable to connect a jsp page to mysql database.
A error message "server configuration denies access to datasource " is coming .
My code is like this
<%
String username-"root"
String password="sdctest"
%>
<% try
class.forname("org.gjt.mm.mysql.Driver");
java.sql.Connectioncon= java.sql.DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:mysql://localhost/products"username,password);
then opening recordset ....
Error is coming in the second line while establishing connection.
Here i would like to mention that username and password is the username and password of the root user in LInux.
Now i mm confused what username and password will have to be used in JSP.Because i did nt have to specify any username or password while entering mysql.
If my problem is clear,somebody please help...all jobs stuck.

Answer 1

Try doing it without the username and password, otherwise create a new user in MySQL.
